Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7-Inch Student Edition Bundle

Samsung started one of their own “back to school deals” yesterday with a student tablet package known as the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 Student Edition with Keyboard Dock. Samsung’s tablet deal will start on August 19 and last towards late September.

Deal Alert: Until December 1, you can get the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7-inch for only $179.99. The keyboard dock is available individually for $79.99

Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 Student Edition
The Galaxy Tab 7 alone retails for $249 without this bundle, so the accessories you are getting is a $39 keyboard dock together with a $21 USB adapter (model EPL-1PL0BEG) for free.

This bundle retails for $350 otherwise. I won’t opinionate if this is a perfect tablet for students or not, since that depends on someones needs, preferences, and budget. Think of it more as a way of getting a good deal if you were already planning to get the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0.

What the Samsung Galaxy 7 does better than the Nexus 7 is that it has a more solid build, expandable microSD card slot up to 32GB (Nexus has none), and a front camera (640×480).

Features
It has Adobe Flash Player (unlike an iPad), Samsung Media Hub, an IR-blaster based Smart Remote app that turns the Galaxy Tab 2 into a universal remote control, Samsung’s AllShare wireless content-sharing media streaming service (stream multimedia content from the Galaxy Tab 7 to the TV), Polaris Office, and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS.
